US EditionI Won’t Be Intimidated by the Bondi Attacks Into Hiding My Jewishness
Two terrorists targeted a Jewish Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach, killing or injuring 38 people; bystanders intervened to disarm one attacker, authorities confirmed.
- On December 14, the attack at Bondi Beach began about 6:45 p.m., as two terrorists opened fire with long guns at a Jewish Hanukkah celebration, killing sixteen people including one attacker.
- Weapons details indicate one used a shotgun with extended magazine and red-dot sight, the other a bolt-action rifle with telescopic sight; one attacker carried a medium-sized bag and backpack.
- In a dramatic video, Ahmed al Ahmed surprises and disarms an attacker, while an older man threw a bottle, was wounded, and the disarmed attacker rearmed about 1:20 in video.
- Video and correspondent reports indicate an officer aimed but did not appear to fire as a police officer seen with a pistol confronted an armed terrorist; a clear timeline is still missing, and officials say more details will emerge in the next few days.
- Security experts warn that allowing shooters to retreat risks further attacks, analysts note unclear attribution of wounds among bystanders, and the Australian National Imams Council condemned the shootings.
